Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Timeline of the Irish War of Independence, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. RashersTierney (talk) 09:25, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why the entries were removed. The 2 IRA members, namely Daniel Moynihan and Humphrey Sullivan, were stated in the referenced police reports to have been present when George Motley and John Steer were killed. I believe it is historically important to provide names of participants when possible. In addition, it is important to mention that the deaths occurred after the truce of July 1921, mentioned in the same police reports, partly to show how effective the truce may or may not have been. Many of the entries in the timeline do not have a single reference, so why should parts of my entries with clear referencing be removed, whilst others of mine using the same references have been left alone?(Slogger3 (talk) 14:33, 2 April 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Perhaps we could start with the source itself. Who exactly publishes cairogang.com and are you yourself in any way associated with it? I have already pointed out the necessity for edits not to amount to WP:SYNTH; WP:RELIABLE also applies. RashersTierney (talk) 16:18, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
